SECTION I: FLUE SYSTEM FOR 18-MH, 50-SHW15 and 50-TRW15

A. Existing Flue System

If you have chosen a freestanding unit, this unit is designed to connect to an
existing flue system, such as masonry or a pre-manufactured Class A flue system. If
you have a masonry system you should inspect the inner liner very carefully for
cracks; if any are there, we recommend you install or have a stainless steel liner
installed. If you have an existing pre-manufactured flue system you should inspect
the inner liner to ensure there is no buckling, warping or cracks in the liner.

Whether your flue system is masonry or pre-manufactured, it should be cleaned
before installing the new unit to the flue system. We strongly recommend you have a
qualified chimney sweep clean and inspect your flue system. The sweep in most
cases will be able to make any necessary repairs or at least recommend qualified
people to do so. It is not permissible to connect your new unit to a flue system

that services another heating appliance.

B. Flue Size Needed

The proper flue size is determined by measuring the inside diameter of the flue
collar on the unit. This unit is equipped with a six inch (6”) TOP EXHAUST FLUE
COLLAR. Therefore, the connector pipe should be six inches (6”) or larger pipe and
never less in diameter than the flue collar on the stove. The area of the chimney liner
must also be equal to or greater than the area of the flue collar on the stove. If the
area of the flue is greater than the area of the collar, it should never be more than
three (3) times greater.

EXAMPLE

The area of a six inch (6”) flue collar is 28.87 square inches; therefore, the
connector pipe should be a six inch (6”) diameter pipe and the chimney liner should
be a minimum of 28.87 square inches, but no greater than 84.8 square inches.

The connector pipe should be 24 gauge steel pipe and eighteen inches (18”) from
a combustible wall or ceiling. If you require closer clearance to combustibles with
your pipe, double wall or shielded pipe is available. This will reduce your clearance to
six inches (6”).

Note on Outside Air Hookup: You can use an outside air hookup with our catalytic stoves. We highly recommend it
for homes built since the more air-tight construction standards went into effect. This involves connecting a metal
pipe (usually three inches (3”) in diameter - check your stove - and the pipe can be flex or rigid) from the air inlet

ipe located on the bottom rear of the stove through your floor or wall. The outside end of this pipe should be

covered in some manner (i.e. with a screen) to keep it clear of foreign matter. It is necessar

installing in a mobile home or double-wide.

C. Installation of a New Flue System

(

1. Masonry Flue: In the event that you plan to install a flue system or have a flue

system installed, there are several avenues you can take. In the middle and late
Seventies masonry flue systems became very popular, and are satisfactory
systems to have today. If you are considering a masonry system, you should
consult your local building officials for the proper procedures in construction of this
type flue system. We recommend you consult with and have your flue built by a
licensed, bonded contractor.

Most masonry flues are placed against the outside wall and extend upward
above the roof. The flue thimble is then inserted through the wall, making the
connection with the vertical flue and the stovepipe. Exercise extreme caution when
drilling through the wall; you must maintain the proper clearance between the
connecting liner and any combustibles in the wall.

We also recommend that you have a flue door located at least two feet (2’)
below your flue thimble connection for easy access and clean-out. You should
make this door as airtight as possible. It is the responsibility of the consumer to
ensure the chimney or flue system is in good operating condition. The

manufacturer will not be responsible for an accident attributed to a unit
connected to a faulty chimney or flue system.

2. Pre- Manufactured Flue System: In the past few years pre-manufactured flue

systems have become very popular because this type system is fairly easy to install
and, when installed correctly, is very safe. There are many pre-manufactured flue
systems on the market from which to choose. In making your choice be sure the
system you choose has a recognized label such as U.L., B.O.C.A. or I.C.B.O. Any
of these labels will ensure the flue system is constructed of the proper materials
and meets the required safety standards. Your Englander dealer will usually handle
a top grade and approved flue system.

There are

system. The
roof. This is the least expensive and creates a tremendous draw because less pipe
is required. It is less expensive because insulated pipe is only needed from the
ceiling up; single wall 24 gauge pipe is used from the unit to the ceiling. The
second method of installation is to go through the wall and up on the outside of the
house or structure. This method is more expensive because more insulated pipe is
required; you must use insulated pipe through the wall and up the outside of your
house. If you choose to go through the ceiling or through the wall, you must
exercise extreme caution in your installation. The proper clearances must be
maintained with either installation. Your flue pipe manufacturer furnishes a wall
thimble or ceiling box, and when these are installed properly the correct safety
clearances will be met. If you choose this type system and are not qualified to
install it, you can contact your local dealer for a qualified contractor. It is the
responsibility of the consumer to ensure the chimney or flue system is in good
operating condition. The manufacturer will not be responsible for an accident

attributed to a unit connected to a faulty chimney or flue system.

caused by the malfunction of a stove due to improper venting or installation.

SECTION II: FLOOR & WALL PROTECTION

A. Floor Protection

If your floor is constructed of a noncombustible material such as brick or concrete,
no floor protection is required. If your floor is constructed of a combustible material
such as hardwood, carpet or linoleum, you must place floor protection between the
unit and the combustible material.

There are many stove floor and wallboards on the market. You must be very
cautious in choosing the proper protection. The board must be U.L. listed. After
examining the area in which you plan to place your new unit and determining it
requires protection, the next step is to select the proper size board. The unit you
choose will determine the size board that is required. The approved board should be
large enough to provide a minimum of eight inches (8”) behind the unit, eight inches
(8”) on each side of the unit and sixteen inches (16”) in the front of it. This stove
requires a minimum 36” x 48” floor protector.

B. Wall Protection

Your stove can be placed within thirty inches (30”) of a combustible wall such as
paneling, wallpaper or drywall. In some areas local code may call for thirty-six inches
(36”) clearance from a combustible, therefore you should check to see which applies
to your area. If you need to place your unit closer it will require wall protection. There
are many wall board manufacturers, and most require a one inch (1”) air space
between the wall and the board. You can place your unit within twelve inches (12”)
of some boards and reduce your clearance by two-thirds. In addition, the wallboard
only needs to be six inches (6”) higher than the top of the stove; by placing the unit
twelve inches (12”) from a combustible, the flue pipe will be closer than eighteen
inches (18”) from a combustible surface. This will require you to use double wall or
shielded pipe that allows you to come within six inches (6”) of a combustible surface.
Regardless of clearances, we recommend using some type wall protection when
installing this unit in a mobile home or double wide. Always follow the pipe and
board manufacturer’s directions, and contact us if you have any questions.

C. Heat Shield

This stove has a standard heat shield that allows six inches (6”) clearance from
combustibles across the entire rear of the stove. You will still need thirty inches (30”)
clearance from combustibles on each side of the stove.
